Life on the line. AMRIC video. VHS 22-min video. This video
deals with a difficult issue–the case for testing medicines in animals before
they can be tested and used in people. Some may think this is just a question
of how much we care about animals. This story aims to show that it's not so simple.
Researchers care about animals too. But they have to balance the lives of animals
and humans against the use of laboratory animals. It is hoped that those who have
seen this film will be better able to make up their own minds. Animals in Medicine
